Interesting but the article writer thinks he's pretty clever doesn't he? [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I'm impressed that you managed to post a non-joke thread Arvon, but I'd be even more impressed if you actually made more than one post on a thread. [img]tongue.gif[/img] [ 10-23-2003, 07:39 PM: Message edited by: Vaskez ]

This author isn't as intelligent as he seems. Movie makers create a world in which every pane of glass is conveniently made of tempered glass (that is glass that shatters into tiny little near harmless fragments on impact).
At anyrate this person seems to have a bad case of stick-in-backside. He/she's just make a mountain out of a molehill.

He may do a bit too much on his part, but I like it. And I always hated movie car explosions. Yes, they look pretty, but how stupid do they think I am?

I think this site is quite funny. If only for the excercise of trying to calculate what should/could/would happen if many of the movie facts came to real life.
But they are movies! They are not intended to represent the 'truth' or 'this is how it goes in the real world' . Certainly not the movies he chose to criticise (sp?). But still, very funny. [img]smile.gif[/img]

He is true. And a world totally made of spacial windows? How silly is that
Besides that it's true and it holds many things I actually find horrifying in movies, it's also quite funny that there is actually some kind of community actually thinking up this stuff

If you look at the movie reviews some of them are interesting also.

I disagree with some of the comments amde here. Some movies are set in this world, therefore they must abide by the same rules as ours. You can't blame the filmmakers for crossing the rules, but still it makes no sense. Also note that these errors originate from the 60's, where stupid effects were the only thing they could do. I mean, punches that sound like gunshots? And the flashy lights when bullets hit walls: well if you didn't do that, you would have an awckward movie.
